Mrs Lom may hold degrees in Medical/Nursing Knowledge; I don't.
Mike, if your purpose is to dazzle you've succeeded.
I'm still in the semi-dark about pain (and happen to have a need to know).

After looking up the word I realized that I do have a frame of reference to inteligently converse on the subject. A few years ago I had a hernia surgery where they gave me an anesthetic which made me unconscience nearly instantly. I was laying there explaining my concerns of the pain in my arm as the anesthetic was going up my arm and before I was finished I ended up in the recovery room. Cant remember what it was called but I do remember thinking it was the stuff Michael Jackson ODed on. Anyway I felt nothing during the time I was out. When I came around I wasnt groggy and didn't feel sick. It was an interesting experience. So it seems the concious brain plays a part in pain perception. I am also glad they didn't have to clobber me over the head to achieve the obtunded state.

-well, when you are made to bend over and you are spanked, it hurts.
Hope that helps 😉
But do you hurt on the outside, or the inside?
And what of the kinky sorts who enjoy being spanked?

So you didn't notice one of your eyebrows had been shaved off?
I supposed they would have removed the "polish your pickle for a nickel" sign from around your neck before you came to.

They probably just charged for an extra bandage or two. My only problem is that I would have prefered not to have had the anethesia before that portion of the procedure.

We need something for sure in our house. My wife is in constant agonizing pain from several directions at once, now, a torn rotator cuff in her shoulder, and many other sources, keeping her mainly bedridden. I have missed work 3 days in a row taking her to ER and cooking food for her and such, I can't keep this up or will lose my job. We are getting not much help from the medics, just pushing pills that do no good like Oxycodone and such, doesn't touch her pain. I am at a loss as to what to do at this point. Her Neurosurgeon says either an operation of physical therapy for her shoulder but neither course will help in the short term. Right now she is fighting just to get a nights sleep.

The considerable scope and depth of the study in the following link strains my imagination.
Does anyone have the requisite frame of reference and time to distill it to layman terms?

Thank you.

Simplest explanation is pain being a defense mechanism to protect further damage after injury and injury avoidance to begin with such as quickly retreating hand from heat upon contact. In effect, leprosy renders sensory perceptions useless for tactile/pain reception and such people frequently end up suffering severe burns as a result of failure to perceive pain.

Sorry to hear this. My gal has a similar situation. I bought her a gallon of lubricyn which is a haluronic acid suppliment for livestock. After just a few days she noticed a difference and after a couple of weeks a big difference. She had problems sleeping as well and can now sleep all night. She has recently purchased and is on the second gallon. I used it and I felt a bit better but I don't have the aches and pains she does. I have noticed a change in her skin as well. She takes sleeping medication and trying to convince her to ween off of thet. Instead of script pain pills she now takes advil and tylenol alternately and having good results when she needs them. If you google DEAD DOCTORS DON'T LIE you can find supplimental nutrients that I think we are going to give a try. I dont think is is snake oil. Nutrition is key for a lot of what is wrong with our health.
